So, as some of you might know, there is a Hard Fork (HF) scheduled for this coming Tuesday the 26th for Steem. For any normal user, this is not an issue and all will continue to function as normal.
HOWEVER - me, being a newbie to Steem, have been considering mining Steem. I have been looking at the posts on Steemit and found the Mining for Dummies post that explained how to mine Steem on an Ubuntu virtual machine.
My project for this weekend will be to complete the mining setup to see how effective my rig will be for mining Steem.
The question I now have for @dan , @ned and any of the other Steem experts is the following:
Would I need to change anything on Tuesday, if I have completed my Steem mining setup over the coming weekend?
I assume I would need to make changes, so that I would be mining on the new fork and not on the old fork?
I am sure I am not the only one with this question. Any assistance from the community would be much appreciated. please post with your hints, tips and advice. Thank you very much.
/off to start boiling the kettle to get more STEEM :-)
